Default Cheap eBay sbf engines..

Don't buy them... At least from SBF Wheeler products. I ordered a 393 stroker short block on march 17th of this year..., still havnt received it. Sounds like they havnt even started building it yet. There estimated wait is 5 weeks.. It's been over 3 months

They should have at least started it by now. However, if they haven't I think I'd push for a refund and maybe look at Ford Strokers. It might cost a little more but the quality and service would likely be better.

Well I actually bought the block with my visa over the phone. The company sent me a recipt in an email which I have. I have been in contact with there rep who says the problem is they don't have my dish pistons in right now but if I wanted flat top they could have my motor out the door tomorrow... So I don't think I'm being scammed it just seems there extremely behind. I could always open a civil battle right? I live in wisconsin tho and the company is in Florida.
